Yellow
Yellow is the
color evoked by light that stimulates both the L and M (long- and medium-wavelength)
cone cells of the
retina about equally, but does not significantly stimulate the S (short-wavelength) cone cells; that is, light with lots of
red and
green but not much
blue. Light with a wavelength of 570–580
nm is a yellow, as is light with a suitable mixture of somewhat longer and shorter wavelengths. Yellow's traditional
RYB complementary color is
violet or
purple, yellow's colorimetrically defined complementary color in both
RGB and
CMYK color spaces is
blue.
